  • York

    York

    Hello, hello everyone! 💛 A few weeks ago, we went to York to celebrate my birthday. It was such a lovely surprise planned by my mum and my husband! We spent a day and a half exploring this beautiful city, and I absolutely fell in love with it. If you’d like, I can share a…

  • Venezuela

    Venezuela

    Venezuela, how deeply you hurt today.Twenty-seven years of unrelenting suffering, and now this. Sometimes I wonder what your people could have possibly done to deserve so much pain. So much loss. So much injustice. Beyond your borders, so few truly understand what it means to survive in a country where many earn less than four…

  • Chatsworth house

    Chatsworth house

    There are grand houses, and then there is Chatsworth House. Nestled within the rolling hills of Derbyshire, this magnificent estate has stood for centuries as a symbol of power, beauty, creativity, and innovation. Yet what makes Chatsworth truly special is not simply its breathtaking architecture or its world-famous gardens. It is the stories hidden within…

  • International Dance Day

    International Dance Day

    As every 29th of April comes around, we are reminded of the importance of dance. This year’s message comes from Crystal Pite: Humans move, our arms reach out, our knees collapse, our heads nod, our chests cave in, our backs arch. We jump, we shrug, we clench our fists; we lift each other up and…

  • Joropo

    Joropo

    Hello everyone! As you know, I usually talk about flamenco in the Flamenco section. This time, I’ve decided to start a new series exploring dances that lend themselves to flamenco fusion. And what better place to begin than with Joropo, a beautiful and vibrant style from my home country? What is Joropo? Joropo is more…

  • Athens

    Athens

    Unlike Santorini, Athens has an excellent public transport system, reliable, affordable, and incredibly useful for getting around the city. We arrived late on the 6th of November, so our real exploring began the following day. Before diving into the highlights, here are a couple of things worth knowing: On the way to the first museum,…

  • Santorini in 3 days

    Santorini in 3 days

    We recently visited Santorini for the first time and fell in love with every moment. Before diving into what makes this island so special, I’d like to share a few tips. That being said, we stayed for 3 and a half days. Here’s what we explored: We stayed at a beautiful place called Blue Eyes…

  • Elvaston Castle

    Elvaston Castle

    A Forgotten Gothic Treasure of Derbyshire Tucked away in the quiet Derbyshire countryside lies Elvaston Castle, a once-glorious Gothic Revival masterpiece now resting in a state of faded grandeur. Surrounded by 200 acres of rolling parkland, whispering woodlands, and formal gardens that still hold a touch of their former elegance, the castle is the heart…

  • Aggrandisement

    Aggrandisement

    In many towns, through countless skies I have roamed, Yet pieces of me linger, softly sewn Into the bricks of silent walls, The winding streets where I would fall. There I learned – and there I bled, Where every echo softly said: “You were once this shadow here. A whisper caught in yesteryear”. The breeze…
